• Diagnose and troubleshoot application and infrastructure related issues quickly and effectively
• Provision cloud resources based on capacity, computing and security requirements
• Always have best security practices top of mind, employing zero trust and principle of least privilege across all critical systems and resources
• Work in tandem with development teams to manage and execute DevOps and Infrastructure initiatives
• Regularly evaluate and research alternative solutions to improve internal DevOps processes
• Continuously evaluate and refine the monitoring of our critical infrastructure and applications

Who you are:

• You are pursuing a degree in Computer Science, or a related field.
• Proven track record: you have clear accomplishments both in and out of university, standing out from your peers.
• You have practical experience, applying your technical skills in a professional environment.
• You have excellent communication skills, collaborating closely and effectively with teammates.
• Highly driven and proactive: you relentlessly and independently push through hurdles and drive towards excellent outcomes.
• Meticulous: you hold high standards and have an obsessive attention to detail.
• (Preferred) Basic Understanding of AWS: You have some experience with AWS services and are keen to deepen your understanding of cloud environments, embracing the opportunities for growth in this area.
• (Preferred) Basic Understanding of DevOps: You recognize the transformative potential of DevOps practices and are eager to learn more about continuous integration and deployment, improving collaboration between development and operations.
